Welcome to the Buckinghamshire Local Representatives Groups page

At East West Railway Company (EWR Co), we’re passionate about hearing what local representatives, and their communities, think about East West Rail (EWR) so we can, together, successfully build a project that will bring faster journey times, lower transport costs and ease pressure on local roads. This will bring people closer to the things that matter most – jobs, friends, and family.

We’ve set up 15 Local Representatives Groups along the route where we will deliver the East West Rail project to help local communities connect with us through their representatives. The Groups include Councillors, Parish and Town Councils and representatives from EWR Co.

This is the page for the Buckinghamshire Group. The Group brings together all the Parishes and Councillors from the area within Buckinghamshire Council where the new EWR track is being delivered and will primarily focus on the Development Consent Order (DCO) process. The Group is separate from other existing local groups, centred around infrastructure delivery and its impact on local communities, in which the East West Rail Alliance takes part.
